Bretonian Buccaneers

[jammi]

Just to interject, the going rate a Buccaneer charges is down to the Buccaneer posing the fee. If there are three of us present, and we hit you for two million credits (a charge I generally reserve for 5K transports and incredibly annoying traders/pirates) that money is going to be split three ways - just be glad we didn't each charge you.

I also downsize payment depending on the ship type - 500K for smaller transports, one million for intermediate sizes, 1.5 million for medium-large (Tanker sized) ships and the full two million for the largest types. If you've given us a lot of hassle, I'll tack on an additional 500K to whatever charge I would normally have given you. Empty ships and freighters pay a token sum of 10K.

And I agree that not every system needs "generic pirates", but Bretonia is a particularly ripe breeding ground for that type of crime:

War wracks the land, tying up law enforcement. The economy has shifted into a war economy, meaning lots of high risk cargoes are being moved. There are two conflicting sides present in one system, meaning supply convoys from both sides are plying the space lanes. Bretonian corporate escorts have largely been drafted into the military, leaving transports undefended. The Corsairs are supposedly bogged down in Omega 5 by Wilde attacks (yeah right, but that's what the news says) leaving relatively little competition.

And I just lost track of the rest of my train of thought... Check the Buccaneer's Bay if you want to see some more Buccaneer RP.

EDIT: We're already official. We got official yesterday.

EDIT2: We really need a feedback thread...
